EGGPLANT BABY

Baby Eggplant (also known as Small Eggplant or Indian Eggplant) refers to a variety of eggplant that is typically smaller in size and more tender than the regular, larger eggplant. While the term “baby eggplant” is often used to describe young, immature fruit from larger varieties, it is also applied to specific smaller eggplant varieties that are grown to be harvested early for their delicate flavor and texture.

Baby eggplants are low in calories and make for a great addition to a calorie-conscious diet. They are rich in water content, helping with hydration and providing a feeling of fullness. Eggplants contain anthocyanins, particularly nasunin, which has antioxidant properties. This helps protect cells from oxidative damage, potentially reducing the risk of chronic diseases. Baby eggplants provide a variety of essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, and B vitamins. These nutrients support immunity, skin health, and bone health.
